BURIED ALIVE BY A HUGE ALASKA SNOW

[@aimeeloomis3795]

You are an inspiration for all the animals you are raising in such a harsh climate.

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Thank you so much for this comment, Aimee. It’s sometimes hard, I think, for people to accept that doing things differently doesn’t mean it’s wrong. And we surely have to do things differently than most up here. You made my day. Thanks for your very kind words. Stay warm out there friend. 😊

[@ImperfectCitizen]

Thanks for the immersive snowfall. Battling the snow does seem daunting but also kinda comforting. I loved seeing you rescue your goose!

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

We’re glad you enjoyed this one. Have a great week. 😊

I just subscribed. .I thought it was bad in sullivan indiana with 8 below zero ..until I saw your vidios. .your in my prayers. ..lol. I'm just fine..

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Hey Roy! That’s pretty cold for you guys! Were pretty tough around here and every winter it dumps snow like this 2-3 times. 😊 I think last year we got a total of 21’ for the whole winter! Us Willowbillies own lots of plows and snow blowers. Ha! Stay warm friend and have a blessed Christmas.

[@deborahmoczygemba3026]

I am just seeing this and am thoroughly enjoying. I love your love of all animals, and y'all so funny 😂

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Well thanks friend! Glad you’re enjoying our adventure. 😊

My girlfriend and I were through Willow last July. We're from Wisconsin. We watch Eric Illias and his wife's channel often. They are from Willow too.

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Hey friend! July was a great month! I hope you enjoyed it. The Illias live about 6 miles away from us. We’re excited gif their big move! Nice small town feel here. Everyone knows everyone. Thanks for watching and commenting, 😊

I’m glad you enjoyed it Miss Marilyn. Definitely a workout and no air conditioning necessary! Ha!

That's a lot of snow. Beautiful! Stay safe and warm my friend.

Hey friend! We trade the snow in for -15 degrees. Ha! Heading out to get firewood. 😬❄️

Sorry buddy, I hope you get things done in time for animals shouldn’t go through this trials of snow and cold. Hope you get it ready.

Thanks friend. We have all the snow cleared out now. It’s a little cold here still, but we’re all happy and safe. Thanks for watching and commenting, stay warm out there. 😊

Wowzers that's a lot of snow!!! So much work to dig out. So glad your goose's feet were saved. He might have been turned into the Christmas goose...🍽🍗

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

It was 3 snow storms back to back. Luckily the weatherman was mistaken and we only got 16”. Phew! No snow for a bit, but now its -19F, -28C. I’ll take the cold any day though. Stay warm out there friend. 😊❄️

What a winter wonderland nightmare! I can’t imagine how much work that is to keep everything going safely. It is beautiful though. The pink sky and the sunlight on the tree tops is amazing. Great shots!

Wow. Now THAT'S a good start on a winters snow, hmmm?? I think your camera skills are 2nd only to your STUNT SKILLS! 🥴 I bet that big, overhead, bucket 'O snow took some sweet talking to get Mr Reeve to get him to agree to it. You're a little wackadoo!! 😉🤣 Great video for those of us who are into the snow, etc. Poor piggos. Poor goose feet. So early in the season for a guy to get buried up to his.....butt ... in snow, dontcha think? Gonna be a really l o n g winter if the beginning is any indicator! We've been getting wave after wave of rain for the last couple weeks. Stack some wood, stay warm, repeat. 😉😎🙏

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Great advice! It’s -15 today and firewood is on the agenda to today’s to do’s.

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

I pray it doesn't loose his foot

[@RusticByNature]

I will be removing the snow from our RV, popup, and a couple other roofs in the next couple of days. Hope the goose recovers but it looks too far gone. Now that I have watched the rest of your video, Did the foot ever warm up, or did it stay cool?

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

His feet did get warm. He was doing really great yesterday, but sitting on his feet today. Still very lively though. We’ll see how he’s doing tomorrow.

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

We’re hoping for the sun to shine on you and your shovel be light. 😊❄️❄️

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

Crystal I want to ask a question do you get snow and it blinds you they call it snow blindness and y'all wear sunglasses I couldn't even see that dog in that snow it's hard Even this video. But i love it be safe

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

When the sun is out, it can reflect off the snow, and make it really hard to see. Also, when it’s overcast out, there’s no shadows to define where the snow is or isn’t sometimes. Both of those conditions make it hard to see and so we wear sunglasses.

[@sandrafarley7967]

if you have them stack straw bales all around them

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

That’s a great idea thanks. 😊

[@missmothertrucker]

You do not have to you get the snow off the shipping container there’s no amount of snow that would crush it! They’re used to Being stacked

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Hey friend. thanks for your comments! It’s awesome that you’re sharing your adventures on your channel too. 😊 You are definitely right in that the frame will totally support tons of weight. We got a discount on this conex because the skin on the top was compromised and dented. Things have to handle 90 pounds per square foot of snow-load in our area. Just hoping to keep this structure from collapsing. Ha! Stay warm out there, Merry Christmas and may you always have safe travels.

@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska Thanks didn’t know that you noticed I had a channel lol. I really enjoyed watching you guys you’re awesome

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

@@missmothertrucker Thsnks lady! Merry Christmas!

[@sandijammes7761]

@missmothertrucker4161 - I know everybody thinks those containers are super strong... I used to think so too. Their strength is in the perimeter of them- where they stack. The roof isn't as strong as I thought. I did some research looking at using the one we have as an underground cold storage. Look at some of the videos on KZbin & it'll amaze you! It's pretty scary for the ones that were going to use them as storm shelters, etc. Just be careful. They aren't that strong on the roof. God bless you & yours. 🙏

[@MyAlaska12]

What size tractor is that? I see it is a New Holland. How do you like it? I'm looking into getting one.

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Hey friend, it’s a LSXG3025, same color blue as a new Holland though. Ha! The small new hollands are built by LS anyhow. Great tractor. Got it from Dave’s Tractor in wasilla. Dave’s a good family man. If we had to do it over again we’d probably get one with a touch more power. It has been indispensable, however. We got one big enough to lift a 1600 pound moose if need be, that was our purchasing prerequisite. Ha!

[@NotSoRemoteAlaska]

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Hey there Miss Marilyn! We definitely have a log splitter, just doesn’t start when it’s so cold. It’s been frozen for a few weeks. Ha. And when we can’t use the gas powered log splitter, we gotta use the biscuits and gravy powered one. 😊 Merry Christmas friend.

WHY DONT YOU HAVE A PLOW ON YOUR TRUCK? ESPECIALLY HAVING ANIMALS

[@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska]

Hey friend! Good question! We actually have two plows! One on our Kawasaki Mule, and one on our pickup. We use the snowblower on the back of the tractor instead, because the plow will push some of the snow through the fence and into their pens, particularly when we get such a big dump of snow! Thanks for watching and stay warm out there!
